Application filed .Tune 17, 1896. Serial No. 595,909. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, IsIDoR TAHL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Paper Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following1 to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The present invention relates to the class of folding paper boxes specially designed for confectionery and small commodities, and the obj eet in view is to provide a box which shall present in outline and general appearance the facsimile of a cradle when set up.

To this end the invention consists of a folding box of a special construction which has bottom iiaps and a lock therefor of any approved pattern to form the bottom of the box, top flaps, with means for holding the same closed, and pieces aflixed to the ends of the box and projecting below the bottom of the same, and also, if desired, above the top, said attached pieces being given a configuration to adapt them to form rockers or supports for the box, all as hereinafter fully described, and set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view of the box-blank proper. Figs. 2 and 3, respectively, show two secondary blanks to be attached to the two ends of the box-blank to form the finished folding box; and Fig. 4t shows the box set up.

The blank illustrated by Fig. l is out of a length sufficient to form the four sides of the box and with the end extension a., which is to be attached to the opposite end of the blank at ct by gumming or otherwise. y The creaselines are indicated by dotted lines. The lines b h b l; mark the corners of the box and c c e c the creases for the bottom flaps I) E F G, the aps E and G having the tongue and slot to form the lock for the bottom. The creaselines for the top flaps are indicated at h h h 7L, and the flaps forming the top I J L K are in the present ease shown as plain iiaps nished with a scalloped edge to give a pleasing effect and designed to be tied down and held when the box is closed by tapes M, Fig. 4f, attached to the box-blank through the tape-slots m. The top of the box may, however, loe provided wit-h any suitable iiapdock in lieu of the tapes.

The secondary blanks R and S are attached .l

to the main blank to form the completed box by gummin g the sections O and P of the main blank, the said sections being those which form the ends of the box when it is closed, and affixingthereto, face to face, the blanks R and S. The surface of the secondary blanks to be presented to" the gummed sections for attachment are indicated by the dotted lines r and s. The pieces R and S have the bottom extensions r and s shaped to form rockers for the cradle-box, and they also preferably extend above the area of attachment to the main blank and have an outline suggestive of the head-board and foot-board of a cradle. The effect may be materially enhanced by ornamentation printed or embossed on the blanks, as indicated in the drawings.
